    216   independent_calloc(size_t n_elements, size_t element_size, void* chunks[]);
    217 
    218   independent_calloc is similar to calloc, but instead of returning a
    219   single cleared space, it returns an array of pointers to n_elements
    220   independent elements that can hold contents of size elem_size, each
    221   of which starts out cleared, and can be independently freed,
    222   realloc'ed etc. The elements are guaranteed to be adjacently
    223   allocated (this is not guaranteed to occur with multiple callocs or
    224   mallocs), which may also improve cache locality in some
    225   applications.
    226 
    227   The "chunks" argument is optional (i.e., may be null, which is
    228   probably the most typical usage). If it is null, the returned array
    229   is itself dynamically allocated and should also be freed when it is
    230   no longer needed. Otherwise, the chunks array must be of at least
    231   n_elements in length. It is filled in with the pointers to the
    232   chunks.
    233 
    234   In either case, independent_calloc returns this pointer array, or
    235   null if the allocation failed.  If n_elements is zero and "chunks"
    236   is null, it returns a chunk representing an array with zero elements
    237   (which should be freed if not wanted).
    238 
    239   Each element must be individually freed when it is no longer
    240   needed. If you'd like to instead be able to free all at once, you
    241   should instead use regular calloc and assign pointers into this
    242   space to represent elements.  (In this case though, you cannot
    243   independently free elements.)
    244 
    245   independent_calloc simplifies and speeds up implementations of many
    246   kinds of pools.  It may also be useful when constructing large data
    247   structures that initially have a fixed number of fixed-sized nodes,
    248   but the number is not known at compile time, and some of the nodes
    249   may later need to be freed. For example:
    250 
    251   struct Node { int item; struct Node* next; };
    252 
    253   struct Node* build_list() {
    254     struct Node** pool;
    255     int n = read_number_of_nodes_needed();
    256     if (n <= 0) return 0;
    257     pool = (struct Node**)(independent_calloc(n, sizeof(struct Node), 0);
    258     if (pool == 0) die();
    259     // organize into a linked list...
    260     struct Node* first = pool[0];
    261     for (i = 0; i < n-1; ++i)
    262       pool[i]->next = pool[i+1];
    263     free(pool);     // Can now free the array (or not, if it is needed later)
    264     return first;
    265   }
    266 */
    267 void** dlindependent_calloc(size_t, size_t, void**);
    268 
    269 /*
    270   independent_comalloc(size_t n_elements, size_t sizes[], void* chunks[]);
    271 
    272   independent_comalloc allocates, all at once, a set of n_elements
    273   chunks with sizes indicated in the "sizes" array.    It returns
    274   an array of pointers to these elements, each of which can be
    275   independently freed, realloc'ed etc. The elements are guaranteed to
    276   be adjacently allocated (this is not guaranteed to occur with
    277   multiple callocs or mallocs), which may also improve cache locality
    278   in some applications.
    279 
    280   The "chunks" argument is optional (i.e., may be null). If it is null
    281   the returned array is itself dynamically allocated and should also
    282   be freed when it is no longer needed. Otherwise, the chunks array
    283   must be of at least n_elements in length. It is filled in with the
    284   pointers to the chunks.
    285 
    286   In either case, independent_comalloc returns this pointer array, or
    287   null if the allocation failed.  If n_elements is zero and chunks is
    288   null, it returns a chunk representing an array with zero elements
    289   (which should be freed if not wanted).
    290 
    291   Each element must be individually freed when it is no longer
    292   needed. If you'd like to instead be able to free all at once, you
    293   should instead use a single regular malloc, and assign pointers at
    294   particular offsets in the aggregate space. (In this case though, you
    295   cannot independently free elements.)
    296 
    297   independent_comallac differs from independent_calloc in that each
    298   element may have a different size, and also that it does not
    299   automatically clear elements.
    300 
    301   independent_comalloc can be used to speed up allocation in cases
    302   where several structs or objects must always be allocated at the
    303   same time.  For example:
    304 
    305   struct Head { ... }
    306   struct Foot { ... }
    307 
    308   void send_message(char* msg) {
    309     int msglen = strlen(msg);
    310     size_t sizes[3] = { sizeof(struct Head), msglen, sizeof(struct Foot) };
    311     void* chunks[3];
    312     if (independent_comalloc(3, sizes, chunks) == 0)
    313       die();
    314     struct Head* head = (struct Head*)(chunks[0]);
    315     char*        body = (char*)(chunks[1]);
    316     struct Foot* foot = (struct Foot*)(chunks[2]);
    317     // ...
    318   }
    319 
    320   In general though, independent_comalloc is worth using only for
    321   larger values of n_elements. For small values, you probably won't
    322   detect enough difference from series of malloc calls to bother.
    323 
    324   Overuse of independent_comalloc can increase overall memory usage,
    325   since it cannot reuse existing noncontiguous small chunks that
    326   might be available for some of the elements.

    343   pool or in unused MMAP segments. You can call this after freeing
    344   large blocks of memory to potentially reduce the system-level memory
    345   requirements of a program. However, it cannot guarantee to reduce
    346   memory. Under some allocation patterns, some large free blocks of
